Package: evince
Version: 3.2.1-1+b1
Severity: important
Hi,
I have a nice document that shows up correctly in:
* xpdf
* acroread
but leaves only striped on white background in evince.
I attach a screenshot with xpdf and evince.
evince gives no info whatsoever.
pdfinfo reports:

As said, evince does not give any error at all.
But if I run it through qpdf --linearize and want to see the generated
pdf then there are loads of errors both in xpdf and evince:
Error (3631): Illegal character <b4> in hex string
(many of them)
Error: Weird page contents
Error (7677): Illegal character '>'
Error: XObject 'Im1' is unknown
I am not sure if this is known.
All the best
Norbert
